Rainy Day drive, Acadia NP

Howdee all,

Wednesday was a rainy in the morning so we decided to go out for breakfast and then for a drive.

After breakfast we looked into this glass shop..car ride maine_001 Gazing ball made with pieces of glasscar ride maine_002 car ride maine_004Inside the shop..sun catchers everywhere…

A small sun catcher

runs around 100 dollars.

The lamps are 4.000.

Beautiful things…car ride maine_005After looking in a few shops in Bar Harbor…

We looked for a beach that we had been to over 10 years ago.

A rock beach

Jasper Beach

No luck…the clam shack is closed.

We did find another place for dinner…

And we celebrated Jeff's 62nd Birthday.

His birthday desert was…

Blueberry pie and blueberry ice cream!

    Beautiful glass, but a little over priced for me. Wonder how long the stuff has been hanging?

    Love the rock beach. I'd have come home with my pockets full I'm sure.

    Have fun on your Ranger walk.

    Where to next?

    What gorgeous glass! Love the beach pictures too. Sam must have been in heaven doing her poses out in nature in all it's glory.

    What a colorful glass shop!
    That looks a lot like an Oregon coastal town, but I've never seen a rock beach like that - with so much color! Beautiful!
